Old Zhao was unable to move, unable to even kneel.
"Mu Feng, we are no match for your strength. Can you let me go now?"
"As Li Changhe just said, this matter has nothing to do with me."
"When I return to the family, I will definitely tell them about you. They absolutely will not trouble you, and they wouldn't dare. A master of the Land Immortal realm, our family has no such expert to oppose you."
As he spoke, a slight flicker appeared in his eyes.
Mu Feng, with just a glance, had guessed most of it. He said with a half-smile, "When I revealed my strength, I glanced at you. You didn't even notice my gaze then."
"You still thought my attention was entirely on Li Changhe."
"And I also wanted to know how powerful your Zhao family's experts are."
"Your lack of surprise proves you have seen Land Immortal realm masters. But it doesn't matter."
"We are all at the same level, and I am not much worse than them. Moreover, I am young and have plenty of time."
"By the time someone from your family wants to cause trouble for me, I might have already broken through to a higher realm. That will be when your Zhao family faces misfortune."
Old Zhao's voice trembled, "Let me explain."
"If our family members knew of a young master like you, one who has reached the legendary Land Immortal realm, they would definitely stop provoking you. After all, your potential is limitless."
"Offending a genius like you is simply not worth the loss. Moreover, both Li Changhe and I are insignificant to the family."
"They won't make an enemy of you over a nobody like me."
A trace of mockery appeared on Mu Feng's lips. "If they knew my strength, they would probably come looking for me immediately and attack me directly, because they are very eager to know how I reached my current height in seven or eight years."
"This is your greed, and it's also a secret you desperately want to know."
"Don't tell me that won't happen. We are all adults here, no one is a fool."
"The moment I revealed my true strength before you, your fate was sealed."
"Besides, we have a deep-seated blood feud between us. Your death is not unjust!"
With that, he flicked out several silver needles.
As he tried to speak, he felt a piercing pain.
He now finally understood why Li Changhe had screamed so miserably earlier.
Before he could even utter a sound, Mu Feng's other needles shot out again, piercing his mute point and completely rendering him incapable of speaking.
Mu Feng said calmly, "I don't need you to say anything. Hearing my voice is enough for you now."
"After your death, your family will definitely learn about your fate. When I acted against you, I did not involve anyone else; it was just me acting alone. Even your death will likely remain an unsolved case for a while."
"Perhaps they will investigate Madam Su, but you know Madam Su's current situation better than I do."
After speaking, Mu Feng walked out directly.
He left Old Zhao writhing in agony on the ground, unable to move.
His muscles were spasming uncontrollably, and many Gu worms were crawling out of his body, then continuously gnawing at him.
Soon, men in black entered. As the Gu worms emerged from his body, the men in black, with precise movements, collected all the Gu worms into a small bottle.
Mu Feng looked at the moonlight in the sky and let out a long sigh, his gaze fixed in a certain direction.
He walked towards that direction with slow steps, as if he were merely taking a stroll.
His mind was filled with many thoughts, especially memories of the past.
The memories from seven years ago were still vivid, scene after scene replaying before his eyes.
The screams of agony still echoed in his ears.
Holding a perpetual lamp, he arrived at a cemetery. It had been meticulously cleaned, and the surroundings were now neat and tidy.
Looking at the names on the gravestones, a smile appeared on Mu Feng's face.
He placed the lamp in front of the tombstone.
"Dad, Mom, elders, brothers, and sisters of the family, I have avenged you!"
"The perpetual lamp is placed before you, so you can quietly listen to the wails of the culprits."
"Anyone involved in this matter will wish they were dead more than alive."
"Rest in peace, my loved ones."
The night gradually receded, and the sky began to dawn.
As the first rays of sunlight shone down, Mu Feng was covered in dew.
Huo Feng, who had been waiting outside the cemetery, immediately offered him a cup of hot tea as Mu Feng walked out.
"Have some tea. I'll take you home later."
"Rest well. You have a home with us by your side from now on!"
Mu Feng took the teacup, his gaze falling on Huo Feng, a smile on his face. "My heart isn't as fragile as you think. My great revenge has been achieved, which is a cause for joy."
"As for what happens next, I'll tell you once I've figured out my plans."
"By the way, how is the old man?"
Huo Feng, seeing that Mu Feng appeared to be in good spirits, breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile also graced her incredibly beautiful face. "Your master has gone somewhere. He only told Junior Sister Chu that he's going out to travel and wants to shed all his burdens to enjoy his life."
"He also said not to disturb him and that he'd find you a new mistress soon."
"He's too eager for a new grand-disciple, so he said he's going to create a new character for himself."
Mu Feng shook his head and chuckled, "Still so incorrigible."
Huo Feng's eyes held a hint of envy. "That's freedom and unrestraint. But the only disciple he truly acknowledges is you. Even Junior Sister Chu is just a registered disciple to him. You are the old man's final disciple."
Mu Feng looked towards the rising sun, his smile growing even brighter. "Perhaps!"
"The old man did teach me a lot, and he also gave me a very important treasure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the strength I have now."
After a brief chat, Mu Feng glanced back at the cemetery and turned to get into the car.
As he sat in the car, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, he smiled.
However, when he answered the call, it wasn't Su Nianxue's voice on the other end.
